BoxNation, the UK’s first and only dedicated boxing channel, will be now be included in BT Sport’s pack of channels and made available to all new and existing BT Sport customers as part of their subscription.
Ive always liked the way that Eddie H operates, yes it all seems a bit clicky but he has been a major player in the success of British boxing as of late.
This news means a Crolla Flanagan fight looks as far away as ever, but it will hopefully Give warren a platform to build a higher calibre stable before is able to really compete with Matchroom.
BJS, as much as I like him, will lose his title as soon as he grows a pair and fights anyone with any credibility.
There is definitely opportunity for FW though, with de gale having one fightleft with matchroom, I think Selby is in the same situation, Frampton possibly available to sign up, T Fury hopefully making a return, Khan floating around aimlessly, this added financial clout for FW could be just what he needs to get these stars signed up.
Competition is healthy in any industry but lets just hope it doesn't get in the way of big domestic bouts and turn into a Golden boy/Top Rank type fued.
I like him, not sure he still has the desire he had earlier in his career, I think GGG & Jacobs beat him, I think he struggles in a rematch against Eubank Jr aswell, I'd love to see him in any of those fights though if his mindset is correct
Also on Hearn, I think the guy is bad for boxing. Puts his fighters in stay busy fights against Latvian cab drivers, plays the ranking systems and gets them undeserved shots at world titles. The guys lose because they've not had the proper seasoning in fights prior to the big one, they ain't learning anything. In his 5 years at Sky you can count on one hand the good fights he's put on. (Excluding Mandatories).
Gotta disagree there off the top of my head
AJ Whyte
Crolla Perez 2
Crolla Linares
Brook GGG
Froch Kessler 2
Froch Groves 2
The future looks bright for his stable aswell, AJ looks on track to possibly be the most dominant heavyweight of all time, Callum Smith looks the real deal, the GGG fight appears to have reignited Brooks hunger, Burnett, Warrington, Whyte, K Yafai all look like future world champs
Would that not indicate a problem with the ranking system?plays the ranking systems

I think stinker.It's either going to be a stinker or a Kovalev blow out.
And yes it's on Sky, 2am.
I think stinker.
Ward is super technical, look what he did with every other opponent, Fights to win on points and Make you look shit.
Froch got badly shown up against him.
I still think Ward will win on points
most definitely biggest fight, 2 unbeaten champions fighting each other is rare as rocking horse shit.Ward is coming off two major surgeries though and he's not looked great at 175. It's the biggest fight in years IMO, much bigger than Mayweather/Pacquiao.
